EMH: That's the first thing you learn in the real world. Think on your feet.

PROMETHEUS EMH: Thanks.

REKAR: No one here is sick.

 

EMH: Not yet. I understand the stomach cramps are unbearable, although some say the rash is worse.

NEVALA: But Commander, they're expecting us to be-

 

REKAR: You have your orders. (to the Doctor): What are you doing?

 

Doctor: I'm checking the biofilters for evidence of the virus.

 

REKAR: You haven't taken any readings at all!
